Move the paddles with arrow-keys or 'A' and 'D'.
'Space' adds upward force to the ball.
Alt+F4 to quit.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM:
If your framerate makes it impossible to beat the first level, then contact @MoreRalphGames on Twitter for troubleshooting. Sorry about that, I made this on a beefy computer and didn't realize that this was a problem and optimization is out of the question at this point.

One option is to lower the graphics settings and/or resolution in the Unity opening dialogue. That should help a lot.

Many of us have rubbed a cat's belly, it purring in delight, only for it to suddenly turn on us and claw at us! This is a game that replicates that wonderful experience!

Rub the cat's belly up and down, but keep an eye on their face... if they look agitated at all, lift your finger before they pounce! Make sure you don't rub off their belly when they're enjoying themselves, too! It... displeases them.

For the dog lovers, there is also a puppy mode! There is no game over with the puppy, but it may guilt you into replaying if you stop rubbing their belly!

Tips:
Cat is different color in office zone. Also small. Often hiding (e.g. at end of dead-end alleys, on rooftops) but sometimes not.
You can walk up various building walls (clunky BethSoft style).
Chance plays a big role — if you’re focused on finding cat, playtime can be 5 seconds to 20+ minutes. That's okay.
Use 'secret codes'. Type the letter keys while you’re in office-zone. Spaces are optional.

Audio is basically an attempt to sound like ~2000's era Boards of Canada (via recollection -- it's been a few years).
Audio features a loop (the sashaying cymbals) from "The Forge" bundle by Hecq, which was a free thingy via Ableton at some point.

Postscriptum

Sorry for the lateness. I was very excited by hugs’ magnificent wish-list, and became painfully swollen with ambition. Decided to just cut off all the growing bits and let this little sprout die in the sunshine, not too far from the deadline.

-CAUTION THIS GAME CONTAINS HORRIBLE VIOLENCE THAT WILL POLLUTE YOUR MIND AND SEND YOUR SOUL TO HELL-

Once, on a quiet sunday evening, you found a magical box that makes money. You take it home and decide to get richer and richer, with no end in sight. But you are not the only one who enjoys having money...
